The video contains no equations, but it cites original, ongoing, research that has been going on since the 50s. Sure, you could rip a bong and go "woah, cool colors", or you could follow the links and read, say, Tabachnikov's book.

Personally I found that the videos instantly made some group theory aspects of this stand out. Maybe I'm completely off, and that's not really how this is approached, but now I have a question/idea as a foil which I can use to look a bit deeper. In any case, the animation SW came from a researcher in the field, I don't think they are doing this to generate junk food, but to solve actual problems in their field.

Entire math is junk food. Real animals don't touch that.

How so? I think applied mathematics is the exception.

It made me reconsider what I think about mathematics in general. So, if it was junk food, it was a nutritious one at that.

I would call it art, not junk food.
